There are two buttons in the upper part of the handles that once pressed together should release the car seat from the adapters/stroller.

We just got the Nuna car seat and the adapter for our mockingbird stroller. The Nuna requires that 2 buttons on each side (4 total) are engaged to release from the adapter. There is a small square shaped button and the larger button (this larger button also allows for the car seat handle to be moved). Adding this comment because it seemed that there may have been a little confusion about what buttons to push.

On the car seat right above the handles on each side you'll see a gray button (not sure if they are all the color) press both down and pull the car seat up it should come right out

Pro tip. It’s not easy holding both buttons down at same time and pulling up w control. So best way is to press one button and pull seat up at that side first. Then with one hand on the handle, press the other button in and pull seat out fully out. Much easier method. Use the hand you are pushing button with to also pull seat up.

1. The first step in installing the Nuna Pipa base is to find the lower anchors in the vehicle. It is usually relatively easy to find the lower anchors since they are marked with the universal symbol, which is a picture of a child sitting in a car seat. You should also know that the vast majority of vehicles only have lower anchors on the two side seats.
2. Hold the connectors with your hands, push the base into the seat from behind with your legs, and keep pushing until you hear the clicking sound of the connectors connecting to the vehicle.
3. You should check that the indicator window is green on both sides of the base.
4. You should also adjust the base so that the green bubble on the bottom keeps your baby reclined as much as necessary. If your baby cannot sit upright on its own, you want the green bubble to be as far to the right as possible.
   
5. You can adjust the base by lifting the base with one hand, use the grey button to raise the load leg, put the base back down, and then put the load leg back down.

To install a Nuna Pipa seat without the base, you can use either the European routing or American routing methods.

Push down on the seat, pull up on the shoulder buckle, and push back on the back of the car seat.

Test for movement by moving the car seat side to side and front and back. The car seat should move less than one inch. Check the level line and move around the car seat to make sure it is reclined properly.
